Without a portfolio it would be tough to get a project. If you don't have a portfolio I would recommend making some stuff up. Take a popular site that you feel you can do a better job designing and do it. Everybody on Odesk or Elance has a large portfolio.

luck!

This is assuming design work, but it sounds like the OP is stronger in backend dev. You don't need a portfolio for that, but a list of projects on Github or something like that would help.
